This Cathedral is so massive outside as well as inside. All faiths are welcome in this church, however, it is Protestant Episcopal. It took 83 years to build this Cathedral; 1893 Congress gave charter creating the Protestant Episcopal foundation, foundation stone was laid in 1907 in the presence of President Theodore Roosevelt and the Cathedral was completed in 1990 in the presence of President George W Bush. The Cathedral is built mostly from Indiana limestone and this Cathedral is the sixth largest in the world.
This is the ceiling of the Cathedral. Notice all the state flags, each week the congregation prays for each state and its people. Since there are 52 weeks and only 50 states one week is for DC and the other is for the US Territories. While we were there they were praying for South Carolina.
This is the High Alter.
Below is an example of the magnificent and numerous stained glass windows.
Just below this window lies President Woodrow Wilson he is the only President that is buried in the Cathedral.
